The Government of Singapore is taking measures to protect the country against the novel coronavirus pneumonia development. As part of these actions, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has implemented temperature screening at all sea checkpoints.
The specific checkpoints will be at ferry and cruise terminals, PSA Terminals and Jurong Port, for inbound travellers from 24 January 2020, 12:00 hours onwards, said the MPA.
Travellers and ship crew arriving at sea checkpoints will undergo temperature screening conducted by on-site healthcare assistants, while suspect cases will be referred to hospitals for further assessment.
MPA has also put up health advisories at the sea checkpoints to advise travellers and ship crew on the precautionary measures to take when travelling, as well as to remain vigilant and adopt good hygiene practices at all times.
